What apples are best for crisps?

Look for ones that don’t get mushy. Granny Smith and Honeycrisp are my favorites. Mix ‘em up for more zing.

Can you make cozy fall desserts ahead of time?

Absolutely. Apple crisp and coffee cake both reheat well. Just store ‘em covered and heat right before serving.

How do you keep monkey bread from sticking?

Use a ton of butter or a good nonstick spray in your pan. Trust me, you’ll regret skipping this step.

Does sweet potato pie need to be refrigerated?

Yep. Since it’s got eggs and milk, keep it in the fridge after it cools down.

Quick tip for leftovers?

Wrap slices up and freeze for later. Warming in the oven brings them back to life almost better than fresh.
